- PSYCH-K® provides a variety of safe and effective ways to “rewrite the software of the mind”
by changing beliefs that limit you into beliefs that support you... simply and easily.
Your life is a reflection of your “beliefs.” These beliefs, usually subconscious, are the cumulative effect of life-long “programming.” As a result of past conditioning, we sometimes think and behave in self-defeating ways. Conscious thoughts can be changed easily by simply receiving information: reading a book, having a conversation, or seeing the results of actions. If conscious information was all that was needed, then experiencing success in all areas of life would be easy. Unless changes are made at the subconscious level, however, repeating undesired reactions and behaviors will likely continue. Subconscious beliefs have far reaching consequences, both positive and negative, in every aspect of life. They affect moods, relationships, job performance, self-esteem, and even physicalhealth. It is imperative to know how to change limitations into beliefs that support goals and aspirations. Align your thinking and your actions. Take your retreat habits home with you!

Some feedback comments from Spring Retreat 2007
"Fantastic, educational and fun. I felt totally relaxed and cleansed by the end of the retreat."
"The Detox was very pleasant. On my way here I was a little nervous about what we would eat and how my body would react to the detox. The support from Sam and the individualised program ensured I benefited the most, with minimal discomfort. The food was amazing! Who needs chocolate, meat or dairy? Bring on the sprouts!"
"The detox program was great. The food was amazing and it didn't really feel like a detox because of the beautiful tastes of the food. I like the fact that there was a big choice of food to eat, therefore we could chose what to eat based on our own bodies needs. It was also good that we had the freedom to eat whenever we felt the need."
 About Samantha Warner
I have been a practicing naturopath for ten years, and teaching naturopathy (philosophy, nutrition, herbal medicine) for six years. I write a health column for the West Australian and speak publicly on health and natural therapies regularly.
For the last year I have been running my own retreats and also working at a local Perth retreat in Gidgegannup. I am very passionate about food as a medicine and the importance of dealing with our emotional and mental issues that are creating many of our physical problems or limiting behaviours. I really love the opportunity to help people on their healing journey and retreats are a great way of kick starting real and lasting change.
I really see people blossom and begin to understand themselves better when they take time out for their own needs and get some real life experience of a healthy lifestyle.
I really would love to see you at this retreat
Yours in Health
Samantha Warner
